Section B -- Retirement and Survivor Benefits

This section presents data on retirement and survivor benefits provided by the Railroad Retirement Act. Regular 

retirement annuities are payable to employees with 10 or more years of railroad service, or 5 years if such service was 

performed after 1995, who qualify on the basis of age or permanent disability. Age annuities may begin as early as age 60 

for an employee with 30 or more years of service or at age 62 for one with 5-29 years of service. Disability annuities are 

payable at any age if the employee is permanently disabled for any regular employment. Employees with a current 

connection with the railroad industry may receive annuities based on disability for their regular occupation if they have

attained age 60 and have at least 10 years of service, or at any age if they have at least 20 years of service.

Supplemental annuities are payable to employees age 65 or older with 25 or more years of railroad service who have a 

current connection with the railroad industry, and some service prior to October 1981, and whose regular annuities were 

awarded after June 30, 1966. Employees retiring after June 1974 with 30 or more years of service are eligible to receive 

supplemental annuities as early as age 60.

Annuities can be paid to spouses of retired 30-year employees when the employee attains age 60 and the spouse either 

attains age 60 or has a child in care. In other cases, the spouse of a retired employee can receive an annuity when the 

employee attains age 62 and the spouse either attains age 62 or has a child in care. Annuities may be payable to the 

divorced spouse of a retired employee if their marriage lasted for at least 10 consecutive years, both have attained age 62 

for a full month and the divorced spouse is not currently married. Effective August 17, 2007, a divorced spouse can 

receive an annuity even if the employee has not retired, provided they have been divorced for a period of not less than 2 

years, the employee and former spouse are at least age 62, and the employee is fully insured under the Social Security Act 

using combined railroad and social security earnings.

Survivor annuities are payable to widow(er)s at age 60, or as early as age 50 if they are totally disabled. Under certain 

conditions, annuities are also payable to surviving children under age 18, ages 18-19 attending school full-time, or age 18 

or over who became totally disabled before age 22, to widowed mothers (fathers) with young or disabled children in their 

care, and to dependent parents. Annuities may also, under certain conditions, be payable to remarried widow(er)s and 

divorced widow(er)s. 
Annuities are calculated under two-tier formulas. The tier I portion of an employee's regular annuity is calculated under a 

formula similar to the one used for social security benefits. This benefit is based on the employee's taxable railroad 

compensation and social security-covered wages, and is reduced by the amount of any social security benefit received. 

The tier II portion is based on railroad service only and computed under separate formulas.

Spouse and survivor benefits are also computed according to tiers. A spouse tier I benefit equals one-half of the 

employee's tier I portion, before reduction for the employee's social security benefit, if any. The spouse's tier I amount is 

reduced by the amount of any social security benefit the spouse receives. The tier II amount is also based on the 

employee's tier II amount. In the case of a divorced spouse, only a tier I benefit is payable.

The survivor tier I amount is based on the deceased employee's combined railroad retirement and social security earnings 

and computed under the social security survivor benefit formulas. December 2001 legislation established an “initial 

minimum amount” which is based on the two-tier annuity amount that would have been payable to the railroad employee 

at the time the widow(er)'s annuity is awarded. The initial minimum amount is computed with a widow(er)'s tier II 

amount equal to 100 percent of the employee's tier II amount. Under prior law, the widow(er)'s tier II amount was equal 

to 50 percent of the employee's tier II amount; only the tier I amount equaled 100 percent. Widow(er)s' annuities 

computed on the basis of the new initial minimum amount will not be adjusted for annual cost-of-living increases until the 

annuity amount is exceeded by the annuity amount the widow(er) would have been paid under prior law, with all interim 

cost-of-living increases otherwise payable. Each surviving child receives a tier II equal to 15 percent of the deceased 

employee’s tier II, and each surviving parent receives 35 percent. The total tier II amount for a survivor family is subject

to a minimum of 35 percent and a maximum of 130 percent of the employee tier II benefit. In the case of remarried 

widow(er)s, and divorced widow(er)s, only a tier I amount is payable.

In addition to their regular annuities, employees, spouses, and widow(er)s who were eligible for social security benefits 

and who met certain vesting requirements could be paid an additional annuity amount referred to as a vested dual benefit 

payment. This payment protects, in part, dual benefit equities previously established on the basis of credits acquired prior

to 1975. Since August 1981, the award of vested dual benefit payments is restricted to vested employees with dual 

coverage on their own earnings.
Annuity amounts are subject to various types of reductions. Regular annuities to employees, spouses and widow(er)s are 

reduced if they begin before the normal retirement age, except for those payable to disabled employees, to certain 

employees retiring after June 1974 with 30 years of service and their spouses, or to spouses or widow(er)s with children in 

their care. Employee and spouse annuities are reduced separately in each portion, including the vested dual benefit 

payment, except for certain cases where the employee had 30 years of service. In these cases, which occurred when the 

employee was first eligible after June 1984, and retired before January 2002 and before age 62, only tier I was reduced. 

Widow(er)s' annuities awarded since October 1986 are reduced in tier I and tier II. In most cases awarded before October 

1986, only tier I was reduced, although tier II was computed on the basis of the reduced tier I. Other miscellaneous 

reductions in annuities include reductions for receipt of social security benefits and deductions caused by earnings in 

excess of the annual exempt amount.

Lump-sum death benefits are payable to certain survivors of employees with 10 or more years of railroad service, or at 

least 5 years of service after 1995, and a current connection with the railroad industry. A lump-sum death benefit is 

payable at the time of an employee's death only if there are no survivors immediately eligible for monthly benefits. 

Otherwise, a deferred lump-sum benefit can be paid 12 months later if the total of monthly benefits paid the survivor 

during the year is less than the full lump-sum amount would have been.

Another lump-sum survivor benefit, the residual payment, can be made if no other benefits based at least in part on a 

deceased employee's railroad service will be payable in the future and the total of prior benefit payments is less than what 

the employee paid in railroad retirement taxes before 1975.

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 was signed into law August 17, 2006. The Act, effective August 17, 2007, provided 

divorced spouses a tier I railroad retirement annuity independent of the employee’s actual entitlement, and continued the 

court-ordered partitioned portion of tier II benefit payments to former spouses after the death of the employee. Legislation 

modifying partition payments enacted into law on December 23, 2008, added the partitioned portion of the vested dual 

benefit and supplemental benefit to those components of a court-ordered partition award which remain payable after the 

employee’s death. It also allowed for payment of court-ordered partitioned payments where the employee is not entitled 

to an annuity if (1) the employee has 120 months of railroad service or 60 months of service after 1995, and (2) both the 

employee and spouse or divorced spouse are 62 for a full month, or, if the employee is deceased, the employee would be 

62 for a full month.
All current-payment status tables and award tables are based on universe data. In tables containing rounded figures, 

percentages are uniformly computed from unrounded figures; also, detailed figures may not add to totals shown because 

of rounding. Data for awards of employee and spouse annuities in calendar year 2012 (tables B7, B8, B12 and B18) 

reflect the effects of recertifications through March 31, 2013.

Some of the more important terms used above and in the tables are discussed below:

1. An employee generally has a current connection if he(she) has 12 months of railroad service in the 30 months 

preceding retirement or death. An employee whose last 12 months of railroad service occurred prior to the 30 

months before retirement or death may maintain a current connection if the employee did not perform any regular 

employment between the end of the 30-month period containing the last 12 months of railroad service and the 

month of retirement or death. A current connection may, in certain circumstances, be deemed for supplemental 

and survivor annuity purposes, if an employee had 25 years of service and was involuntarily terminated from rail 

service without fault on or after October 1, 1975.

2. Under the special guaranty, monthly benefits under the Railroad Retirement Act are equal to at least the amount 

the social security system would pay on the basis of combined railroad and social security credits, less amounts 

actually paid by the social security system. Retirement annuities computed under the special guaranty may 

include allowances for family members who could not receive benefits directly under the Railroad Retirement Act.

3. Immediate retirements refer to employee annuities which began in the calendar year in which the employee last 

worked for a railroad or in the following year. All others are classified as deferred.

4. Normal retirement age, also called full retirement age, is age 65 for employees and spouses born before 1938 and 

widow(er)s born before 1940. Normal retirement age is gradually increasing, reaching age 67 for employees and 

spouses born after 1959 and widow(er)s born after 1961. For employees and spouses born 1/2/1943-1/1/1955, the

normal retirement age is 66. For widow(er)s born 1/2/1945-1/1/1957, normal retirement age is 66.

5. The average age of beneficiaries is computed as of the end of the fiscal year for those on the current-payment rolls 

on that date and as of the annuity beginning date for those awarded annuities during the year.

Table B2.--Number and average amount of retirement and survivor annuities awarded during year, by type of annuitant and fiscal year, 2004-2013

1 Excludes partition payments to spouses and divorced spouses where the employee is deceased or not otherwise entitled to an annuity. Includes

 annuities to parents. Fiscal year 2013 total includes 2 annuities to parents averaging $386. Cumulative total includes 3,544 annuities to parents. 2 Excludes partition payments to spouses and divorced spouses where the employee is deceased. Averages are after court-ordered partitions. 3 An unusually large number of spouse awards were made with small or no tier 1 amounts, resulting in larger than normal numbers of spouse awards and smaller

 than normal award amounts.

NOTE.--Cumulative figures reflect adjustments not made in yearly data, but average amounts for each year include effects of changes in rates made by the end of the year.

1 Includes employees with a divorced spouse(s) (but no spouse) on the rolls.

2 Excludes divorced spouse annuities.

3 Less than 0.5 percent.

NOTE.--Data exclude families where a spouse annuity was in current-payment status but the employee annuity was being temporarily withheld on December 31, 2012. Under the railroad retirement 

formulas, the highest amount that could be paid to an employee alone who began work on January 1 of the year (s)he attained age 22 and retired at age 65 in December 2012, was $4,539 if a 

supplemental annuity was also payable and $4,496 if not. If the employee had a spouse eligible for an annuity, the corresponding family maximums were $6,686 and $6,643, respectively. 

Employees retiring at a later age or beginning work earlier could be entitled to higher benefits.
